RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - (December 30, 2024) – XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA) (“XTL” or the “Company”), today announced financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

On August 14, 2024, the Company announced it has completed the acquisition of the Social Proxy and on November 11, 2024 it has adjusted the consideration under the acquisition to the previous shareholders of the Social Proxy (the “Shareholders”) by, among other things, adjust the number of ADSs and warrants issuable to the Shareholders under the share purchase agreement between the Company, Social Proxy and the Shareholders dated June 5, 2024 (the “SPA”).

 

The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding share capital of Social Proxy (the “Transaction”) in exchange for (i) the issuance by the Company to the shareholders of Social Proxy, by way of a private placement, 1,864,790 unregistered American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), representing immediately after such issuance, 21.16% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, and (ii) the payment of US$430,000 to the shareholders of Social Proxy.

General

 

In October 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets, launched extensive rocket attacks and kidnapped many Israeli civilians and soldiers.  Following the attack, Israel declared war against Hamas. In parallel, border clashes between Israel and the Hezbollah terrorist group on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon intensified and may escalate into a greater regional conflict. The Israel Defence Force (the “IDF”), the national military of Israel, is a conscripted military service, subject to certain exceptions. Since October 7, 2023, the IDF has called up several hundred thousand of its reserve forces to serve.

 

As a result, the Company’s operations in Israel may be disrupted by such absences, which disruption may materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, since the commencement of these events, there have been continued hostilities along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon (with the Hezbollah terror organization) and southern border (with the Houthi movement in Yemen). It is possible that hostilities with Hezbollah in Lebanon will escalate, and that other terrorist organizations, including Palestinian military organizations in the West Bank as well as other hostile countries, such as Iran, will join the hostilities. Such clashes may escalate in the future into a greater regional conflict. Although until approval of these financial statements, the impact of the war on the Company was negligible, it is currently not possible to predict the duration or severity of the ongoing conflict or its effects on the Company’s business, operations and financial conditions. The ongoing conflict is rapidly evolving and developing, and could disrupt its business and operations, and hamper its ability to raise additional funds or sell its securities, among others.

 

To date, the Company’s management confirms that the Company has not seen any material impact on its ongoing operations in Israel, aside from a negative effect on our marketable securities and potentially our ability to raise additional funds if needed. At the same time, the Company continues to monitor its ongoing activities and make any needed adjustments to ensure a smooth continuity of its business. The Company notes that its headquarters are in the center of the country, near Tel Aviv, and not near any borders.

 

Financial Overview for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

 

XTL reported approximately $0.82 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $0.90 million in mainly marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, compared to $1.40 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $0.60 million in mainly marketable securities as of December 31, 2023. The decrease of approximately $0.58 million since December 31, 2023, in cash and cash equivalents derives from XTL’s operating expenses and from Social Proxy’s operating expenses starting August 14, 2024 which were off-set by the Private Placement.

 

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $162 thousand compared to none for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $162 thousand derives from consolidating The Social Proxy results starting on August 14, 2024.

 

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $116 thousand compared to none for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $116 thousand derives from consolidating The Social Proxy results starting on August 14, 2024.

 

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $66 thousand compared to $25 thousand for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $41 thousand derives from consolidating The Social Proxy results starting on August 14, 2024.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $284 thousand compared to none for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $284 thousand derives from consolidating The Social Proxy results starting on August 14, 2024.

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $1,056 thousand compared to $540 thousand for the corresponding period in 2023. The increase of $516 thousand were mainly due to higher share-based compensation expenses and from consolidating The Social Proxy results starting on August 14, 2024. 

 

Finance income, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $588 thousand compared to finance expense, net of $933 thousand for the corresponding period in 2023. The difference is primarily from revaluation of marketable securities and an income from revaluating warrants and earn-out liability.

 

XTL reported an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of $1,360 thousand compared to $565 thousand for the corresponding period in 2023. The Company reported a total loss for the period ended September 30, 2024, of approximately $772 thousand, compared to total loss of $1,498 thousand in the corresponding period in 2023.
